Love to know the part number for those door handles Bob.. when you have time
Cleaning up minor details now. Finally found a bit of 'bling'. A badge like this will definitley make the beast go better.. Old rifle butt holder AND screws extricated intact!! Original back of ign switch that sits above the steering wheel. Assortment of other bits. Interesting to see two types of engine cover clamps. I thought the single type may have been fitted post war as a make do. But I have now seen 3 Cab 12's with identical arrangements. I'll take that as reasonably supportive evidence of the original layout.

Looked up parts book to find the exact name for the 'metal thing' that the crank rod goes through.
Parts book identifies it as the Radiator Shell Lower Apron Assembly. How the blazes does it attach to the truck down the bottom? (Three holes, last photo) Has anyone got any pictures?

That apron has to curve back on itself almost 160 degrees..... not sure on the Ford but may bolt on the front hat piece with cage nuts on the edge of the hat piece.... the hat piece is parallel to the bumper the arches are bolted to it.... based on failing memory and Chev on the mind !!!!

That's the way we do them downunder, Bob - turn 'em over to loosen the plug then go right way up to drain whatever didn't come out the top.

I agree with you Keefy and Bob. It has to head straight back towards that cross member in the picture. Further investigation last night shows there just aint enough metal on the apron to cover that distance from the front to the cross member that runs under the engine. Which it appears in the Keefy's photo to do so Nor are there any bolt holes anywhere near the three holes on the apron that line up. Went through the 40-41 parts book to find if there was another plate or bracket but have had no success. Will have another crack though ...

In addition to other fiddily bits, I have been making that TAC sign holder as a copy from the original I got from Max.
I would like to put a divisional marking in it of some relevance to my grandfather but the question was... which one? Grandpa was originally with the 21st light horse after doing some research, it seems they were shifted all over the place and re-assigned repeatedly to different units during the war. This made it very difficult pick one sign & my poor old grandfather simply cant remember. I then remembered I had some old photo's he gave me which were of some carriers they were assigned to around 1942. I was stoked to find in one of the images, a pretty clear picture of....a Penquin....Australian 2nd Division. Blokes in the Carrier are (as written on the back of the photo) L to R J.Mack, L.Shooemark, C.A. Forbes, W.H. Brown driving.

Another option would be to choose a different period of your grandfather's service and depict the Division and unit in which he served at that time. That would enable you to choose the period he considers most significant himself, if it doesn't happen to be the one in the photo. If he's a bit hazy on the details you can always get them from his service record. If it happens to be after mid '44 you can use a fractionated unit sign, which allows you to display his actual unit designation. Anyway, just a suggestion, and it may solve your penguin problems!

I have been talking to Steve Stone (UK) who has a Ford F15 Cab 11 and we discussed your photos and the one of Max's apron. The answer is that there are no bolts or screws securing that bottom edge. Steve's has no bolt holes and he is of the opinion that in desert conditions another shield might have been attached. The top edge is secured to bottom of the grille and there are two brackets either side that secure to the chassis through the side of the "cheek" plates, for want of a better word. The photos that Steve has sent me should speak a 1,000 words. Tony, your apron is misshapen, the bottom should curve round more so that it lays horizontal and level with bottom of the bumper from what can be seen. Three photos to follow in next post. I have mislaid your email address, so please PM me and I will send the photos to you. regards, Richard

Here is a pic of an F15A (cab11) in Belgium (ex UK, ex forum member Kenny). It seems the panel is positioned (and curved!) just like the one on Richards pictures of Lukes truck. Unfortunately I haven't got any better pics.

Interesting observation Tony, turns out these are vintage style clips which pre-date the cab 12, as seen on the prototypes. Evidently they were superceded at some stage, presumably for robustness and/or ease of manufacture.
